How to change default report textbox font and colo... - Qlik Community

Because the titles don't come with the charts when moving them from a dashboard into a report, I find I make lots of text boxes to be the titles of the charts. The problem is the default for text boxes is a tiny font and this sickly light blue color nobody would actually ever use on a report, so there are extra steps for every text box to change these when there is probably only 1 font size and background color I need. Is there any way to control these defaults?

Hi lee, you can set required font size , color for a text object and use the format painter( brush icon on the design toolbar ) on the the other remaining text objects to set the same size and font. Regards, Saurabh

Settings->Document Properties->Caption , set the color and other preferences. It will apply to all objects as defaults.

The background colour is set on the General tab of the textbox properties.

From the above posts, it seems this is not a capability. I know how to change the text box fonts and background colors, what I am looking for is how to default ONLY text boxes in reports to a specific font, background, etc... I don't want to default every caption that may appear in a dashboard, I just want to control the default for text boxes in reports.
